"The brighter the star, the more powerful the living thing. And if someone were to... well, meet an unfortunate end, their star would disappear from the formation."
Wu Xie's eyes widened in amazement. "So, we can actually see the stars of others? That's incredible!"
Dan nodded, a hint of pride in his voice. "Indeed. And as you progress and reach higher ranks in cultivation, you'll be able to see the stars of those around you."
Feeling a sense of wonder wash over him once again, Wu Xie marveled at the mysteries of this new realm. 'How many more secrets are there for me to unveil?' he wondered aloud, his mind buzzing with excitement.
With their conversation winding down, Wu Xie came back to his room and settled into his bed, the soft glow of the moonlight filtering through the window.
